“I am Sargon the great king, king of Agade!
My mother was a high priestess, I do not know my father.
My high priestess mother secretly gave birth to me.
He put me in a reed basket, covered it with pitch.
He left me in the river, I couldn't get out.
The river dragged me to Akki, the water hammer.
Akki took me out of the water and raised me like his own son.”
The Akkadian civilization, which rose right next to the Sumerian cities, was not seen as a danger in its establishment. While the foundations of a strong rival were being laid, Sumer had been growing and developing for almost a thousand years.

B.C. In 2330, Sargon is no longer an ordinary wine dealer, but the True King, the leader of the rebellion he started. The world's first emperor.

The findings of cuneiform daily life and state affairs, which have survived to the present day, are recorded in this period. The documents of temples and religious texts continue to be written in Sumerian.
